LEONE LOCAL CHAT.

fashionable fall shade of binding sis
fair to look upon, inside and out, and
is very creditable piece ofwork, con-
sidering that had nothing at all to
do with it. 1t was the exclusive work
of Editor Reilly and Harry Thompson,
who have been moved to do some
thing toward keeping the business
ball rolling.
The Court House, illustrated, took
very well, better than the figures of
Charley O'Neal and Charley Hollis,
who are having heated discussion on
the corner fthe pavement. MORT
arty'sn transfer wagon seems to have
startled ''Web +" Shaffer's high met
tied steed; and the wild horses in the
open barouche are about to back into
Rutledge's sample room. Maybe they
were dry. l don't see anything of
"Your Honor" and myself. 1 sus-
pect we were inside, running the Cir
cult Court.
Noble Fisher has an interesting
group posing around his store door; a
heavy shower seems to also be posing
over the roof.
The preface is a we'll defined ode to
"The Queen City of the Valley" In
descriptive powers the author vies
strongly with Olande Melnotte.
Geo. w. Feidt. our Prosecuting At
torney, looks out at you from off the
eleventh page, IN all his varied gen
iality. If was a man, I'd call him
ga good fellow "-guess l will any
how. 1t may not be out of place to
inform the girls that Mr.. Feidt is con-
sidered matrimonially, as we'll as po-
litically, "eligible." -
Hyde's Jewelry Store is an excel
lent fac sinlae. The lady and gentle
man in front of the door seem to be
engaged in the MASKING business.
Their faces look strangely familiar
but, never mind.
The High School building IS well
taken. So is the dude by the fence,
who is in the act of bowling to the lady
who has met him.
Mr.. w. l.. Jones has well display
ed stock of Holiday goods as seen in
his windows, Peoples Bank Building.
Picture and sketch of Hon. E. Boyd
Faulkner occupy the 10th page. Mr..
Faulkner is not only a gentleman of
culture and distinguished ability, po-
litically and professionally, but is as
well a man always to be relied upon
"a true friend. If Mr.. Faulkner can
be induced to accept the nomination,
he will undoubtedly be the next Gov
ernor of West Va.
Harry Homrich is an enterprising
young man whose tastes run into the
jeWelry line. He will make a success
of the business, even if his picture is
not quite as good-looking as he is.
Prof. J. A. Cox is the gentleman
vino has lately been entrusted with
the management of the High School
in this city. He is a bright looking
gentleman and fully able to win his
way.
Hon. w. II. II. Flick is represented
on page 81 by very correct likeness,
and very brief sketch. Everybody
knows jovial Mr.. Flick, who can
catch more fish, tell more good stor-
les, and capture more votes than any
man in this end of the State.
Stuart w. Walker, Esq, looks down
in all his naturalness and easy grace
of manner. Mr.. Walker has the
push necessary to success. The firm
have large practice.
Blackburn Hughes, Esq, lisa genial,
pleasant gentleman, and a lawyer of
fine Tepute, who has an extensive
practice in Berkeley and other Coun-
ties of this district.
The editor modestly sticks in his
portrait at the back of the book. He
is not exactly the deep, designing
journalist that the picture suggests.
The Bank Building, HERALD Of
fee, and st. Johns Lutheran Church
are life-like." AS a whole, the
work is very creditable and the man
agement deserve to be congratulated
upon their enterprise, more especially,
as " there was nothing in it for them
financially.
All the leading business firms have
advertised handsomely; and our
friends, as well as strangers abroad,
may have a very correct idea of the
march of progress in this burg.
